Chinese President Xi Jinping delivered a heartwarming shoutout to women nationwide ahead of International Women’s Day (March 8), celebrating their contributions across all fields.
Speaking at a key meeting during the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), Xi emphasized the vital role women play in driving social progress, innovation, and cultural development. His message, brimming with respect, resonated with attendees as he called for continued efforts to advance gender equality and empower women in all sectors.
As general secretary of the CPC Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, Xi’s address highlighted China’s commitment to fostering inclusive growth. The CPPCC session, a cornerstone of China’s political advisory system, provided a prime platform to spotlight women’s achievements — from tech startups to rural revitalization projects.
International Women’s Day, a global celebration of female empowerment, aligns closely with China’s push for balanced development. This year’s theme, ‘Invest in Women: Accelerate Progress,’ echoes Xi’s call to support women’s education, entrepreneurship, and leadership.
Young professionals and students worldwide will find inspiration in China’s strides toward gender parity — a lesson in how policy and cultural shifts can uplift societies.
